In the Beginning, There Was Camera & Film

I got my first 35mm camera when I was 14 years old. It was an Argus C20, which was manufactured from 1956 to 1958. I am certain there was a good reason why I got the Argus C20, but that memory is long gone. The choice was probably driven more by price than anything elseContinue reading “In the Beginning, There Was Camera & Film”

Catching Up With the Camera

It has been a few days – well more than a few days – since the last time we met on these pages. I have been pretty busy with various events and intend to post some pictures soon.

Continental Kits & More

Over the course of the last 100 years of the automobile in America, one of the interesting challenges is what to do with the spare tire.

The front side of the 10 acres is nearly six acres and of that, I would guess that four acres belong to the horses, the barn, the pasture and the arena. So whatContinue reading “A Week of Starts and Stops”

Now we have some color. The first picture is from the SVRA finals the first year theyContinue reading “More Pictures?”

Engine 786 – When Will We See You Again?

It was 1996 when we first set eyes on the land that is now the location of our home. There was a very small ad in the real estate section of the Austin American Statesman talking about acreage along the river. Our interest was piqued and we made the drive out past Leander along highwayContinue reading “Engine 786 – When Will We See You Again?”

Film Inventory Project

The Sunday Film Inventory Project – I guess it was Sunday afternoon and I was planning to pursue an indoor photo project in the comfort of air conditioning; the temperature outside was the high for the year so far at 103 degrees. The goal was to complete an inventory of the film stock that isContinue reading “Film Inventory Project”

RiverDogs Crossing – what is this?

A Second Chance Opportunity For RiverDogs Crossing – A Photo Blog I had a web log – commonly referred to as a blog – for the first time in the late 1990’s. For many reasons that feels like it was a century ago. Almost everything I wrote about back then was related to the subjectContinue reading “RiverDogs Crossing – what is this?”
